Overslade, Rugby — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Overslade?

The list runs well past the streets. The Roman Catholic Church of St Marie, the Church of St Mark, the Church of Saint Matthew and St Matthew & St Oswald sit on the Overslade record together with the Webb Ellis Rugby Football Museum, the Rugby Art Gallery and Museum, the Rugby School Museum and the Rugby School War Memorial. Four churches, three museums and a war memorial.

Much of that belongs to Rugby School and the town's own institutions rather than to the residential streets of Overslade itself.

What is the history of Overslade?

Bilton held this ground first. Overslade was historically inside that parish, and the streets came later, laid out for housing across the middle decades of the twentieth century, mostly between the 1930s and the late 1950s. Nothing older is dated here.

What the record fixes for Overslade is a development period, not a founding, with the Roman Catholic Church of St Marie among the names that reached the list.

Where is Overslade?

Overslade covers the central south part of the town of Rugby, in Warwickshire, England, on land the parish of Bilton once held.
